The Primanima World Festival of First Animations this year returns with its anniversary edition between October 5h and 8th. It will take place in Budaörs, Hungary (the suburb of Budapest) for the 10th time.
The 10th edition apart from the screenings of the competition and panorama programmes will offer a revamped industry platform and international workshop, called Primanima Jumpstart, and of course the audience can enjoy the concerts and parties.
The call for entries is open for the Primanima's main competition and the festival team is looking forward to receive the work of young animation artist in three categories:
- student film
- graduation film
- first film
- children's films
- films for teenagers (PrimaTeen category)
For the latter two programmes, the director of the work should be under 40 years old.
The festival will continue to be mainly a platform for young animations, but a new category is introduced to strengthen the intergenerational dialogue. The Primanima Masters programme is mostly, but not exclusively focused on directors who brought a film already to the festival and have been making masterpieces ever since. For this category there are no age and category limitations.
The deadline for submissions is June 30th. The festival regulations can be read here, and directors can submit through Filmfreeway or through the festival's website, the latter is without any fee.
Along with the call the festival's new visual identity is also revealed. This year the work of Tamás Patrovits is reflecting on Primanima's anniversary and on the idea of celebration in our contemporary world.
